Hello!
Now that I know how to post pictures on here, I was asked a week ago when I bought this car to post pictures of it and here they are!
1979 Sedan deVille d'Elegance, Colonial Yellow #54 with matching top, gold pinstripes and Burnished Gold interior. 61k miles. Paid $4,500.
It's equipped with illuminated entry, visor vanity mirror, power passenger seat, wire wheel covers, cruise, defogger, twilight sentinel, guide-matic, delay wipers, power trunk/pull down, tilt/tele, right outside mirror, carpet mats, door edge guards, trumpet horn.
The car seems to have been used very irregularly over the years and had ancient Firestone 721's (G78-15 size!) so yesterday I replaced them with a new set of Firestone FR380 whitewalls.
Tomorrow the car is going to the mechanic for everything to make it completely road worthy - - shocks, springs, belts, hoses, exhaust, plugs, wires, filters, oil, lube, and whatever else looks questionable will be repaired or replaced. Hopefully the mechanic can get those darn trailer hitch bolts removed that were pictured in a previous posting.
Also, I am having fitted an electrochromic self dimming inside day/night mirror with compass and outside temp display plus built in Homelink garage door opener and map lights. I've put these in almost every car I've owned that didn't already have one and it's nice to have all the extra features in an older car. Here is a link: http://www.mitocorp.com/flash/homelinkautodimmingmirrors.htm
Then, this coming Friday, my two beagles and I will leave our summer place in Wisconsin for a nice relaxing road trip home to Florida where this big yellow Cad will fit in perfectly!
Happy motoring!
Dave
